‘Andor’, the series that shows Star Wars the way forward

It was the middle of last September when ‘Andor’ arrived on the Disney+ streaming service, a title that has become a pleasant surprise for fans of this film franchise and specialized critics, because it is a production that has arrived without making much noise and now it is one of the most acclaimed spin offs in the history of this saga.

The brilliant thing about ‘Andor’ is that it is a title that has achieved success by showing a completely different story from the style shown by Star Wars in other productions, so this Disney+ spin-off starring Diego Lunait’s what shows this franchise what the way forward is for future productions.

It’s no secret that in recent years the trend of Star Wars was to make spin offs that deal with new stories and passages focused on important characters of this franchise, such as “Obi Wan Kenobi”, “The Book of Boba Fett” or “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, also the second installment of “The Mandalorian” brought back Luke Skywalker for his finale.

These productions, which, if it is true, have generated enormous ratings, have not completely charmed the specialized critics, nor have they become historic titles for fans, and this is largely due to the fact that they have continued to exploit the Skywalker saga , showing the eternal struggle between the Sith and the Jedi and the use of force.

However, ‘Andor’ has none of these elements, as in this production we can see the rebel fight of stock characters from the Star Wars universewho make various sacrifices by getting involved in a revolution against the Galactic Empire, a plot that could work perfectly even outside of the George Lucas saga.

‘Andor’ out of the Skywalker Saga

The series starring Diego Luna, he taught Star Wars that it can generate productions far from the Skywalker sagaand taking into account that it is a gigantic cinematic universe, the chances for this franchise to continue to grow are very large, so it is very likely that other Lucasfilm titles will follow the example of “Andor”.

Undoubtedly the case of ‘Andor’ is special, a production that when it was announced did not attract much interest, as attention was paid to other productions such as ‘Obi Wan Kenobi’, ‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘Ahsoka’, however, now this series has gotten the perfect assessment by the audience, which is why he is now preparing a second season.
